Abstract
A method for producing asphalt, comprising: a heat treatment step in which the rubber granules resulting from the granulation process of the scrap tyre are subjected to a temperature between 80 and 300 ℃ for a required time to obtain a density between 1.0 and 1.5g/cm 3 Rubber particles therebetween; and a mixing step in which the rubber particles from the heat treatment step are mixed with stone aggregate and asphalt to obtain asphalt.
Description
The present invention relates to a method of using rubber derived from discarded tires in the preparation of asphalt.
Herein and hereinafter, the term asphalt (asphalt) refers to asphalt conglomerate used to build a road surface.
Typically, road asphalt is composed of about 94% stone aggregate and about 6% asphalt (bitumen).
The use of rubber from scrap tires (PFU) or discarded tires has been known for some time (hereinafter, the english term ELT will be used, an acronym for discarded tires). In addition to exhibiting environmental advantages through the use of scrap, the use of ELT rubber provides advantages in terms of reducing rolling noise generated by dynamic tire-road contact.
The solutions implemented so far suggest two methods of use of rubber powders from ELT. One method (commonly referred to as the "dry" technique) suggests adding powder directly to the aggregate and bitumen during the mixing step of the bituminous conglomerate, wherein the amount of powder is in the range of 1-2% by weight relative to the mixture. Another method, commonly known as the "wet" technique, suggests mixing bitumen and powder and reacting them at a temperature that causes the rubber particles to expand, thereby obtaining what is referred to by the english term Crumb Rubber Modified Binder (CRMB); the amount of powder to be incorporated into the CRMB varies between about 15% and 22% with respect to the weight of the bitumen.
Considering that the powders used in accordance with these prior art techniques, the "dry" technique and the "wet" technique, only account for about 2% by weight of the asphalt, it is evident that the amount of ELT rubber that can be used for the asphalt is very low according to the solutions implemented so far. In addition to exhibiting an impediment to the important recycling of ELT rubber in asphalt, such limitations also preclude the possibility of investigating what possible performance advantage the asphalt obtained from the presence of more ELT rubber.
Thus, there is felt a need to be able to use ELT rubber in asphalt in amounts greater than those allowed by the above-described techniques in the prior art.
The inventors of the present invention developed a solution that makes it possible to meet the above-mentioned need by treating ELT rubber in a manner that enables it to be used as an inert material, as a partial replacement for stone aggregates, and thus overcoming the need to dissolve it in asphalt to produce CRMB.
The object of the present invention is a process for producing asphalt comprising: a heat treatment step in which the rubber particles resulting from the granulation process of the scrap tyre are subjected to a temperature of between 80 and 300 ℃, preferably between 100 and 200 ℃, for a desired time to obtain a density of between 1.0 and 1.5g/cm 3 Between, preferably between 1.2 and 1.3g/cm 3 Rubber particles therebetween; and a mixing step in which the rubber particles from the heat treatment step are mixed with stone aggregate and asphalt to obtain asphalt.
Preferably, the mixing step comprises: a first mixing operation in which stone aggregate and asphalt are mixed together at a temperature between 150 and 200 ℃; and a second mixing operation, wherein the rubber particles are added to the mixture from the first mixing operation.
Such a mixing sequence ensures a better particle distribution in the resulting asphalt.
Preferably, the rubber particles from the heat treatment step constitute 1 to 30% by volume of the amount of inert material contained in the asphalt.
Herein and hereinafter, the term inert material refers to a combination of stone aggregate and ELT rubber particles.
Preferably, the rubber particles resulting from the granulation process have a substantially polyhedral conformation, wherein the ratio of the largest dimension to the smallest dimension is less than 2.
Indeed, it was found that particles having three dimensions similar to each other gave better results.
Preferably, the rubber particles resulting from the granulation process have a size passing through a sieve having a sieve with a size between 10mm and 1.5mm, more preferably a sieve with a size between 2.0mm and 6.0 mm.
Preferably, the method comprises a pre-heating step prior to said heat treatment step, wherein the rubber particles resulting from the ELT granulation process are subjected to a temperature between 120 and 200 ℃ for a time between 15 and 30 hours.
Preferably, the method comprises a surface treatment step after said heat treatment step, wherein the rubber particles from the heat treatment are subjected to a surface abrasion operation.
By means of the abrasion operation, a powder is obtained which achieves a greater degree of compaction of the asphalt. Furthermore, the inventors consider extremely important that the powder should originate from the outer layer of the pre-treated rubber particles.
Preferably, the method comprises a final heat treatment step after said surface treatment step and before said mixing step; during said final heat treatment step, the rubber particles resulting from the surface treatment process are subjected to a temperature between 80 and 300 ℃, preferably between 100 and 200 ℃, for a desired time to obtain a density between 1.0 and 1.5g/cm 3 Between, preferably between 1.2 and 1.3g/cm 3 Rubber particles in between.
Another object of the invention relates to rubber granules and/or powders originating from a granulation process of discarded tyres, having a size passing through a sieve with a mesh size up to 10mm, and subjected to a temperature between 80 and 300 ℃ for a required time to obtain a density between 1.0 and 1.5g/cm 3 Between, preferably between 1.2 and 1.3g/cm 3 Rubber particles and/or powder in between.
Preferably, the particles and/or powder are subjected to a pre-heating step prior to the heat treatment step, wherein the rubber particles and/or powder resulting from the ELT granulation process are subjected to a temperature between 120 and 200 ℃ for a time between 15 and 30 hours.
Preferably, the particles and/or powder are subjected to a surface treatment step after the heat treatment step, wherein the rubber particles and/or powder from the heat treatment are subjected to a surface abrasion operation.
Preferably, the particles and/or powder are subjected to a final heat treatment step after the surface treatment step; during said final heat treatment step, the rubber particles and/or powders resulting from the surface treatment process are subjected to a temperature between 80 and 300 ℃, preferably between 100 and 200 ℃, for the required time to obtain a density between 1.0 and 1.5g/cm 3 Between, preferably between 1.2 and 1.3g/cm 3 Rubber particles and/or powder in between.
The maximum diameter of the rubber powder was 1.5mm.
The following are non-limiting embodiments that are shown purely by way of illustration.
Two bituminous conglomerate mixtures according to the present invention were produced.
The two conglomerates differ from each other according to the type of treatment to which the rubber particles derived from ELT are subjected. In particular, the first asphaltic conglomerate mixture is obtained using rubber particles that are subjected to only a heat treatment, while the second asphaltic conglomerate mixture is obtained using rubber particles that are subjected to both a heat treatment and a mechanical surface treatment.
In the following examples, the maximum diameter of basalt material was 8mm; the maximum diameter of the fine gravel material is 6mm; the maximum diameter of the basalt sand material is 4mm; the filler material and reinforcing fibers must meet the requirements shown in the tables below.

The particles were subjected to a first heat treatment step in which the particles were subjected to a temperature of 150 ℃ in a static oven at atmospheric pressure for a period of 48 hours.
The particles from the first heat treatment step are then subjected to a surface treatment step to increase the specific surface area of the particles themselves. During the surface treatment step, the particles were passed five times through two horizontal axis rollers (P40 sandpaper) of a "Molino" machine.
The granules from the surface treatment step are then subjected to a final heat treatment step, in which they are subjected to a temperature of 150 ℃ in a static oven at atmospheric pressure, for a period of 120 hours, until a density of granules equal to 1.26g/cm is reached 3 。
During the final heat treatment step, both density and water absorption were checked periodically.
The rubber particles produced as described above are used for the preparation of a bituminous conglomerate mixture.
Table IV shows the composition of the inert material of the second asphaltic conglomerate mixture in both vol% and wt%.

As will be described hereinafter, the asphaltic conglomerate mixture also includes bitumen in an amount equal to 5.5% by weight with respect to 100% by weight of inert material.
The process for preparing the asphaltic conglomerate mixture will be described below.
Basalt, pebble, basalt sand and asphalt were each heated separately from the other ingredients until 165 ℃.

Table VI
From the data shown in tables II, III, V and VI, one skilled in the art will recognize that the asphalt resulting from the process, object of the present invention meets all the requirements needed for effective use.
The method, object of the present invention provides a significant advantage of allowing the use of large amounts of ELT rubber particles. This advantage results from modifying the ELT rubber particles so that they can be treated in the same manner as stone.
The method, object of the present invention also provides the advantage of avoiding high temperature dissolution operations of particles derived from ELT in bitumen, which has a significant benefit in terms of operator safety.
The results of the water sensitivity test on the conglomerate mixtures obtained according to the present invention demonstrate significant advantages with respect to the possibility of introducing a high percentage of particles derived from ELT into the asphalt conglomerate without using a high percentage of asphalt. If one considers that the prior art specifications so far regarding rubber powder mixtures provide a percentage of particles derived from ELT of only 2% by weight for using an asphalt content greater than or equal to 8%, the consequent improvement in the environmental sustainability of the road surface is evident, suggesting the reuse of particles derived from ELT.
